Reel Mell-O Fishing Charters

Reel Mell-O Fishing Charters is a family-friendly fishing guide service based in Tavernier in the Upper Florida Keys, operated by Captain Troy Mell, who has owned and run the charter since 2003 fishing the clear waters of Key Largo, Tavernier, Islamorada, Florida Bay, and Everglades National Park. Captain Mell operates a comfortable 24-foot Ranger Bahia and targets redfish, snook, tarpon, permit, snapper, and sea trout across a wide range of inshore environments including the tidal flats, backcountry channels, and mangrove shorelines of the Upper Keys and Everglades, welcoming anglers of all ages and experience levels with a relaxed, family-first approach. Reel Mell-O Fishing Charters offers a flexible booking format with 5-hour ($600), 6-hour ($700), and 7-hour ($800) private charter options — rare in the Florida Keys market where most charters offer only fixed half-day or full-day trips — allowing anglers to match the length of their day on the water to their schedule and budget. All fishing tackle, gear, and fishing licenses are included in the charter price with no extra charges for third or fourth passengers, making Reel Mell-O an especially great value for families and small groups.
